Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive thoracic surgical technique that is gaining widespread use for several surgical procedures. Although the complication rate is relatively low, there are definable risks associated with the technique. Careful attention to patient selection and an understanding of the complications associated with one-lung ventilation ...

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998
Thoracoscopy can be done safely and effectively through working ports placed in the axilla in patients whose pathology is in the upper half of the thorax. We have used this technique successfully in 37 patients with no complications. Advantages include superior cosmesis, optimal access to the apex of the chest, and, if necessary, easy conversion to ...

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1998
Thoracoscopy has received increasing attention over the past decade as a result of the considerable advances that have been made in the development of endoscopic instruments. In contrast to the newly established video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, the classic way to perform thoracoscopy is using only local anesthesia and sedation (medical ...

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2009
The technique and clinical applications of medical thoracoscopy have substantially evolved in the last few decades. The recent development of a semirigid thoracoscope, which is handled similarly to a bronchoscope, has made this procedure more attractive to pulmonologists.

Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 2001
Thoracoscopy has become a widely used method of achieving minimally invasive thoracic surgery. The anesthesiologist providing perioperative care for VATS is challenged to evaluate the patient carefully; to design a safe anesthetic regimen, taking into account preexisting disorders; to ameliorate physiologic alterations associated with one-lung ...

Outcome of patients diagnosed with fibrinous pleuritis after medical thoracoscopy
Respiratory Medicine, 2012 SummaryBackgroundIn patients with post- medical thoracoscopy histopathological diagnoses of fibrinous pleuritis, confusion can occur concerning subsequent procedures. This issue is particularly important in regions where mesothelioma is prevalent.

Thoracoscopy provides a minimally invasive window to the pleural space, lung, and mediastinum. Further advances prompted by improvements of specifically designed endoscopic instruments and procedural techniques are expected. There is no doubt that thoracoscopy has a place among therapeutic procedures in the chest. The time-proven principles of thoracic

The revolution in video technology has led to the acceptance of thoracoscopy as an important tool in thoracic surgery.A review of all patients undergoing thoracoscopy at the University of Maryland between November 1991 and March 1995 was performed to identify the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996
Pediatric surgical experience with video-assisted thoracoscopy is limited. The authors report their experience with 27 thoracoscopies in 22 children. The median age was 6.1 years (range, 1 day to 16 years). The two primary indications for thoracoscopy were management of pneumothorax and mediastinal cysts.

With the recent development of video-assisted thoracic surgery, visual inspection of the thoracic cavity has been used to provide a more accurate diagnosis and prognosis of thoracic diseases and to better manage these diseases. Equipment, techniques, and complications for standing thoracoscopy in horses are described.
